The philosophy of the ELC is based on an image of the child as capable and inquisitive and encompasses a commitment to creative and expressive learning through artistic exploration.
To realize the potential of all children, the ELC provides a nurturing, secure and stimulating learning environment, one that promotes happiness and a desire to learn. The primary aim is for the children, through play, to become self- motivated and independent learners who are sensitive to the needs and views of others.
Learning experiences, routines, materials and daily interactions are presented in such a way so as to reflect positive attitudes about people and care and concern for the natural environment.
Within the philosophy, educational objectives are identified which aim to help children develop attitudes, skills and knowledge in preparation for their future lives.
